Oh, wow, where do I begin. Situation has not been solved but things feel so much easier now.
Huge thanks to Joakim (jox) for his incredibly generous help and hospitality today. It means the world to me. He offered things I could not even accept. It was a million to one shot posting about my situation on Newstoday and then hours later find myself with a friend in a new city. I cannot thank you enough for everything you did today.
I have now got in touch with a lawyer to assist me while sorting out both the apartment issue and the job thing. Although I am torn as to whether I would like to work with said agency after what has happened, I applied for a reason and still love their work and clients. Apparently the job market is on the rise here, so I'm very hopeful.
Thanks to Joakim it has become possible for me to wait out here in Sweden for a while longer than what I would've been able to on my own.
I will return the lunch very shortly!!

send a letter to the owners of the property explain your position and then leave the country. No ones gonna chase to the otehr side of the world for a broken contract.
Or find someone else to replace you.

I am still a prospect for the position I was already promised, but supposedly they are still interviewing.....
to add insult to injury, i am getting about 12 bags of stuff from home later tonight.

it sounds crazy that you packed up all your stuff and moved there without anything in writing!
when was the last time you spoke with mats? what was the reason he left? does that have any weight on your current 'non' position there (ie. was he fired or did he just up and leave?) the reason why i ask is because it seems odd that the company you have been talking to for months didn't just offer you the position even if the guy that said you were basically hired isn't there anymore...i mean the position is 'still' available!
good luck and let us know if we can help in any way (probably can't but still...). there are a few members here that are in sweden (i think designerror is there...maybe not though, i can't remember :\
you should almost make another thread titled "sweden Stockholm help!!" you might get more help that way.

Usually you are stuck with paying rent until they find someone else, (or you find someone for them) but that averages just 1-3 months... if its anything like Germany the terms are in the contract and also covered by law..

welcome partner. You'll be doing it too in no time....
keep us posted

btw its a really good idea to get temporary accommodation until you have a contract.. and gives you more time to work out where best to live long term... but you know that now...
